This photography master class in fairy-tale style will take place in Barcelona in two completely different city locations
A two-day master class is the most effective way to learn.
It is a balanced presentation of the material: first theory, then practice.
On the first day, you will have the opportunity to shoot two completely different unique images (idea, outfit, decor and location). You will be able to understand all the components of a good shot and make your own shots. After this training, you will be able to implement this easily in your subsequent photo shoots.
The second day is entirely devoted to the processing of your footage in Photoshop.
There will also be a series of mini lectures aimed at ensuring that you not only will be able to repeat everything for yourself like the teacher during the master class, but that thanks to this knowledge you yourself can come up with ideas, make interesting compositional shots and know how to work competently with light and color.
The main thing in learning is keeping
the structure and the step by step method.
The goal of learning is not to create clones who will make repetitions of my work, but to give you all the tools you need to create your own unique masterpieces.

And it is also clear from this masterclass that one day is not enough and Irina has not revealed all her secrets!))) So plan more!))) Irina has inspired me to continue creating!!!
I also want to join everyone in my praise. Thank you for a wonderful master class. For those who are contemplating about attending in the future — unequivocally YES!.:)) Ira illustrated the rules of composition and combination of colors with her own works, so everything will be quite easy to understand.
Well, I understood for myself that it is necessary to go to exhibitions of photos and paintings even more. After all, I am not an artist, so for now green, purple and brown is a bad combination))
I agree with the others, I have been to similar events more than once, but this time… Ira has the gift of teaching) she conveyed the information in such an accessible, accurate, and clear way. I was delighted with the event.
